About Me


"Well she don't act cool and she dont blow hot and cold
Her mystery not of high heels and eyeshadow
Well she laughs when she wants like you do when you're five years old
she loves the faded colours of the dark just like I do

she rocks she swings she delights in the faded things
Her mystery not of high heels and eyeshadow
she laughs, she delights, she delights in the faded colours of night
just like i do, just like I do

well she dont act cool, dont act like a femme fetal
Her mystery not of high heels and eyeshadow
she laughs when she laughs she's the breeze she's the natural
she love the faded colours of three am
just like i do."
~Jonathan Richman
